Consecutive integers can be more generally represented by n, n +1, n + 2, n + 3, . . . • Odd Integers: . . . , –7, –5, –3, –1, 1, 3, 5, 7, . . . , 2k + 1, . . . , where k is an integer • Even Integers: . . . , –6, –4, –2, 0, 2, 4, 6, . . . , 2k, . . . , where k is an integer • (Note: zero is an even integer.) • Prime Numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, . . . • (Note: 1 is not a prime and 2 is the only even prime.) • Digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 • (Note: the units digit and the ones digit refer to the same digit in a number. For example, in the number 125, the 5 is called the units digit or the ones digit.)

30. Percentage • Percent means hundredths, or number out of 100. For example, • 42 percent of X = 0.42 * X or (42/100) * X • Example: If the sales tax on a $30.00 item is $1.80, what is the sales tax rate? • Solution: 1.8 = (n / 100) * 30 ; n = 6 ; Tax is 6% • Percent Increase/Decrease • Example: If the price of a computer was decreased from $1,000 to $750, by what percent was the price decreased? • Solution: The price decrease is $250. The percent decrease is the value of n in the equation The value of n is 25, so the price was decreased by 25%.
